My son seems to be taking to games and I would like to keep him from the online ones as much as I can.
If there's any out there (don't need to be anything real high-end), I'd love to hear about them.
Consequently, the machines are both older PMacs, so we really need a little less graphic-intensive.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
I know nothing about games.

Can you play multiple simultaneous users?
That'd be B).
Thanks, Kelly!

Chris, it really would be helpful to know the age of your son, what kind of Mac will he be using and what OS is running on it.

Sorry about that.
He turns 12 in August. Likes action games, but isn't disinterested in the simplest arcade game, either.
Running on an 8500/120/300+MB/4GB/DSL/A_SLEW_OF_APPS.
That help?
a bunch, guys.Take care.

One of my favorites. Especially Placer Racer.
Hoyle Board Games 2003 Edition
Hoyle Link
More mac games
Most of the Games that are this old should run on your machine.

Newer ones you'll have to check.
I really liked the Tomb Raider Games.

Cant find The trilogy. That was a great deal.

There are a lot of old action, RPG and civilization games that would work on that Mac. It's if you can still find them that will pose a challenge.
Star Wars Trio - Rebel Assault, X Wing & Dark Forces
MechWarrior - NetMech
StarCraft
WarCraft
Lords of the Realm II
Marathon
Marathon 2
You Don't know Jack
Nascar Racing (not the new one that just came out)
Caesar II
Ares
A-10 Attack
F/A-18 Hornet
Pathways into Darkness
Descent
Descent II
Myth
Souls in the System
The only ones I know of that are networkable is StarCraft. Could be more, just that I don't know.
Just remembered about NetMech and Game Ranger.
Not exactly an action game, but Virtual Pool is also supposed to be networkable. You can still find this game on VersionTracker.
